Elaine Greenfield and Janice Meyer Thompson, as the Transcontinental Piano Duo, have performed on community and university series nation-wide. Their recording French Four-Hands with the Elegant Erard was released in 2013. It marked Elaine Greenfield’s second recording venture at the Frederick Collection.  

In Ravel Compared, her third project at the Collection, Elaine performs identical selections on two contrasting instruments: the Fredericks’ 1893 French Erard, and an early, rare, 20th Century Ivers & Pond Parlor Grand, residing in Syracuse, N.Y.  With this recording Elaine Greenfield hopes to add insights and shed light on Ravel’s musical intentions and sound.
